Rotisserie chicken has always and will always be a staple in my house. There are so many ways to turn this delicious store-bought chicken into various meals. One thing me and my family always crave is pho. Pho is a traditional Vietnamese soup made with rice noodles, fresh basil, various vegetables all swirled around in a delicious hot broth that has been simmering for hours. Because we are making great everyday meals, I wanted to make a quick, homemade version of pho using rotisserie chicken that already has so much flavor to help infuse the broth in a shorter amount of time. Using key ingredients like star anise and fish sauce, this recipe is one that will satisfy your pho craving at home.
